NFL History of the Cleveland Browns [2-disc DVD]
Release Date: 10/14

Coaching greats such as Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Belichik passed through Cleveland—as did the team itself, when owner Art Modell infamously moved it to Baltimore in 1996. Watch and learn about the Browns’ evolution, how their players and fans nurtured the team’s tradition, and why the Browns are now more ready than ever to become a powerhouse.
